Following Nostalgia for the Light (2010) and The Pearl Button (2015), Patricio Guzmán continues to explore and expose Chile’s troubled history, specifically the impact and legacy of the Pinochet era, while finding elegance and glory in the country’s geographical features. Footage of the country’s mountainous spine is presented beside interviews with artists and activists and invaluable salvaged archive of protests and resistance. The Cordillera of Dreams is a powerful, emotive and important film completing a hugely important trilogy, as Guzmán has long proved himself one of the major non-fiction filmmakers working anywhere in the world today.
